🎙 Since we've posted our first podcast of 2023 this week, here's a round up of interviews we did in 2022.

We took a bit of a longer break this year, but still added interviews with some fascinating guests from different strands of the left.

Many thanks to all our guests who have given us their time to be on the podcast, and to everyone who has been listening! We have plenty more episodes to come, so we look forward to speaking to more guests this year, and hopefully widen the range of left activism and organisations already covered.

We started the year speaking to Mark Fitzpatrick about the anarcho-punk scene in Cork in the late 1980s, his involvement in hunt sabotage in Ireland and the UK, and his perspective on the animal rights movement and its relationship with the Left.

To mark the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday on 30th January, we spoke to historian Dr. Brian Hanley about the reaction in the Republic of Ireland to the events in Derry in 1972, when British soldiers opened fire on civil rights marchers, killing 14 and injuring several others.

We returned in November with an interview with Pådraig Mannion, who has been a member of Official Sinn Féin and then The Workers' Party since the 1970s. We discussed his politicisation as a student, and the many activist and electoral campaigns he has been involved in, as well as the politics and development of the Workers' Party.

In December, we had a special episode with Alan Kinsella of @electionlit@mastodon.online to introduce Snapshots of Political Action, a new joint project from Irish Election Literature and the Irish Left Archive, which aims to bring together material distributed at individual demonstrations, marches, rallies and protests in Ireland, providing a view of the different political strands and groups that come together in campaigns.
